Elon continues to attempt to union bust in Sweden, but the union has a big war chest
In Sweden, one of the most highly unionised countries in Europe, about 90 per cent of workers are covered by such deals. “If Tesla shows it’s possible to operate in Sweden without a collective agreement, then other companies could be tempted to do the same. We have a successful model in Sweden. We have tried to explain it. It’s very seldom this type of conflict arises,” Nilsson added. Union leaders say they have enough funds to support the striking workers — who currently receive about 130 per cent of their pay from unions to cover holidays and pensions as well — for decades as the emergency fund used for payments is rarely tapped. “We can carry on for a long, long time,” said Nilsson. Tesla did not respond to a request for comment.
What do those things have to do with the topic? My impression was that it was mostly stuff like
A: I’m hungry can you please give me some money for food.
B: You’re in luck, I work at this restaurant down the street. You can have anything you want off the menu for free.
A: Can’t you just give me some money?
B: But I thought you needed food.
A: Fuck you.
